Quote MessageMarc McNulty, with his quality, he should at least be hitting the target
Ayr United 1-1 Dundee United
A nicely worked free kick rips open the home defence, with Peter Pawlett cutting the ball back for Marc McNulty, who blazes over the top from six yards.
A huge let-off for 10-man Ayr.

Livingston 1-1 St Mirren
Conor McCarthy's late equaliser for St Mirren forces extra time.
Livi were leading through Alan Forrest's first-half finish and looking pretty comfortable until their defence switched off at a set-piece.
Livingston 1-1 St Mirren
St Mirren striker Curtis Main isn't far away from finding the top corner with a curling strike.
And that is that for the 90 minutes.
Livingston 1-1 St Mirren
Livingston looking the likelier to snatch victory as Scott Pittman fires narrowly wide. Extra time beckons...
Dundee are deserved winners, with Lee Ashcroft nodding in the only goal from a Paul McMullan corner.
Ayr United 1-1 Dundee United
A late penalty rescues the Premiership side in Ayrshire and the hosts must get through another half hour with 10 men.
Ayr United 1-1 Dundee United
Marc McNulty heads over from a very promising position. A great chance for the visitors to snatch it in stoppage time.
Livingston 1-1 St Mirren
The hosts push for a late winner and Jack Hamilton is inches from connecting with Nicky Devlin's ball across the face of goal.
It looks like we're going into extra time in two of the three games.
Motherwell need to find a goal fast to make it a full house.
Dundee 1-0 Motherwell
Motherwell try to find a way back as Kaiyne Woolery's cross picks out substitute Tony Watt but his header is held.
Conor McCarthy
St Mirren grab an unlikely leveller!
Scott Tanser floats a free-kick into the box and McCarthy meets it flush on the volley from close range to beat Max Stryjek.

Quote MessageI don't think Jack Baird did enough to get a second yellow card. It's soft. Dundee United are fortunate, Ayr should have been out of sight, it's game on now.
Nicky Clark (pen)
Goalkeeper Aidan McAdams goes the correct way but Nicky Clark's spot kick goes in right at the base of the post.
Ayr United 1-0 Dundee United
And a red card for Jack Baird...
Ryan Edwards was up at the back post and referee Nick Walsh spots some kind of infringement. A tug or a push from Baird presumably, as the defender picks up his second booking.
"Soft" is the verdict from Billy Dodds up in the commentary box.
Lee Ashcroft
Liam Kelly is finally beaten in the Motherwell goal as Dundee defender Ashcroft rises highest at a corner to head home from close range.
Dundee 0-0 Motherwell
Dundee winger Paul McMullan threatens as his low cross is cleared just over the bar by Motherwell centre-back Ricki Lamie.
From the resulting corner, McMullan sees an effort at the front post blocked.
